3.0

Almost didn’t read due to the reviews, but the scene that people are taking issue with isn’t what you think which you only find out if you finish reading it. That said, the book does play with power dynamics in sexual relationships in ways that can be difficult to read independent of this scene. If it bothers you, others will too so I wouldn’t recommend reading it. 

There are multiple plots playing out and the ways they converged was well done.  I also didn’t feel like the characters that were introduced that make up the other books in this series made things hard to follow
